redfin search
gday guys, recently my younger brother has become obsessed with redfin after watching a program that showed hundreds being pulled from lake eppalock. unfortunately we haven't got the time to drive that far. just wondering if there were any redfin hotspots within about an hour and a half from melb. we've been to karkarook without luck.
cheers

Re: redfin search
You could try Pykes Creek or if you want to catch a big 40cm+ reddie Moorabool Res is worth a shot. Bostock was always good but not sure what the water level is there at the moment. All 3 spots are between Bacchus Marsh and Ballarat so its an easy drive up the Western Hwy.

Re: redfin search
I used to fish kakarook a lot and caught plenty of rainbows but never once caught a Redfin in there. I did see one get caught once but it was very small.

Re: redfin search
Which end of MElbourne are you located at?
Auravale is full of small fish, dont' eat them from there.

Re: redfin search
Don't overlook many of the man made ponds and lakes springing up in all the new surburban developments. A great many of them have redfin in them.
Most have easy access and are close to home.

Re: redfin search
Hey mate,
Sugarloaf would be my suggestion but it can be very hit and miss!! About half hour before dark sometimes the water's edge gets flooded with little reddies chasing the minnows, cast about 10/15 mts behind the little reddies and you have a good chance of getting a 45cm redfin thats trying to eat the smaller reddies, its the only place ive seen it happen regularly. All day with no action then BANG its alive for half hour then dead again. Ive tried to follow the schools along the bank but they just dissapear.. while its happening ANY lure will work and if casting into the school of little fellas you should get 5 or 6 each before they move on.
